Vis-à-Vis des genres

Thomas Girard is a graduate of a master’s degree in Fine Arts as well as in Art History, and lives in Beauvais. He has been working for a few years around the theme of still life, and even more precisely about the representation of objects troughout painting in the cycle Lorem Ipsum he started in 2003.
Refusing to give any allegorical or symbolic aspect to his still life paintings, he attempts to question his subject and understand the relationship one can have towards things, objects and products ; those human creations often neglected even though they haunt our everyday life.
Having a clearly visible attraction for messiness, Thomas Girard tries to bring us to see and especially feel those common objects he shows for themselves, rather than in a decorative purpose.
